I've seen this match and Levante defenders weren't defending. They were just standing. It was ridiculous.

Personally I don't think he's showing that relatively high TW value...Ok, he plays a role in the build up play as usual. But still, now I see him more lethargic than, let's say, 12 months ago.I'm not even convinced if he really needs anything further TW 80. On level with, e.g., Mikel Rico (however that stat could be reviewed for that player).

im not so sure about agility , he still can make nice and fluid turns , that 360 thing , also he did have few nice dribbles last game , one i recall the most was beating 2 defenders with that dribble iniesta and laudrup mastered , he lost the ball after getting past 2nd player , so no big deal there , but still , quite nice from him .

he did , as he's gunner till death , everyone knows that , he wanted to leave Barca , Arsenal had a 1st option and they didn't picked it up , so he ended up at Chelsea , good luck to him , he's going to be great next to Matic as deep laying midfielder .

He wanted to go Barca cause they were the best team in the world, all the rest is shit. He is ambituous, and there is nothing worng with it, but his victimization, hislies about loyalty sucks.

please , as an objective person , dont you think it's disrespectful to one of the world best midfielders to play him 3 years in a row in false 9 position without giving him any real opportunity on proving himself on his main position ? I do agree , he should've stayed and should never go to rivals like Chelsea since he was "gunner till death" , but he obviously prefers London over Manchester.
